Caption reads:
‘It’s going to be a long, hard, cruel winter, son,’ Mam said. ‘All the signs are there… and there couldn’t be a worse place to spend it than up on Anglezarke. Your dad was worried about you, son, and I am too. So I won’t mince words. There’s no doubt that the dark’s growing in power and there’s a particularly baleful influence up on that moor.
… So stay close to your master. He’s the only real friend you’ve got. You must help each other.
As the weather gets colder and the nights draw in, the Spook suddenly receives an unwanted visitor. Tom’s not sure why the stranger’s presence has upset his master so much but the Spook soon announces that it’s time to leave Chipenden and move to his winter house in Anglezarke. The winter house is bleak, forbidding place, close to the dark with a deep cellar full of bound witches and boggarts. As the winter months progress, Tom finds himself discovering more and more about his master’s past and the identity of the mysterious visitor, who it seems is the Spook’s sworn enemy. Could it be that the Spook’s past is catching up with him? And how much danger will Tom be in when the secrets his master has been trying to hide from the world are finally revealed?
